I was thoroughly disappointed by the response by many on social media. Even a few widely known and respected lawyers made disparaging remarks. We have fallen so low and superficial that many cannot recognize the historical significance of the moment.

I watched Judge Luttig as he spoke and commented to my husband that he had memorized his response in order to convey the importance of the knowledge he was giving.

His measured response on Twitter was exactly what I expected and happy to see.

If only we could get past the clicks, we could learn a thing or two.

Thank you for your affirmation of the man and the time of his place in our history.

Agreed -hence the catalyst for this article. Because I too shared your disappointment —especially from other attorneys. They know better yet they choose to “not do better” —I hope the fleeting dopamine rush of likes and retweets were worth it. Whispers the ironic thing is eventually these “younger” attorneys will become older. <—and I hope they are never criticized or besmirch like they did to Judge Luttig.

I very deeply appreciated this deep dive into the legal and personal aspect of Judge Luttig. Very few knew any of this, and we're likely perplexed during the hearing. I am now following him on Twitter, and emailed myself his statement. Wishing you all good things, always 😘💗

Brilliant and timely article, Filey. Woke up to it in my email and am so glad you included the 2021 videos by Gabriel Sterling and the Brennan Center study. Thank you for sharing & remembering the horrible, awful crap Trump’s done that’s been pushed to the recesses of most of our brains. There’s just been so gawddamned much.

You hit another hims run with this piece. All my love & respect to you. Xxoo

I WANT PERK WALKS like a whole clown parade of perp walks. Yup that’s where I’ve been since January 6, 2021 at 1:53PM and that’s the only way I’m willing to move on Donald J Trump and his enablers cuffed and stuffed into an FBI car

Judge Luttig posted this on Twitter this afternoon. It's worth sharing.
